Pedestrian and bicycle safety is a very important issue especially in Florida. Florida was ranked #1 for pedestrian fatalities per capita in the U.S. in 2010 based on NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts. To actively promote pedestrian and bicycle safety in the USF campus and its surrounding area to save lives and prevent injuries, the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR)
